6.2 Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative)

  • The Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) is a full-time, 135 credit hour program comprised of 30 credit hours completed during Business One, four Business Professional Development seminars, 105 credit hours completed after Business One, and three co-operative work terms. The program must be completed in the sequence, order and course load as outlined below in Program of Study for the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative).

  • Critical Reading and Writing (CRW) courses are regulated by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Eligible CRW courses are indicated under Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.

  • Non-Business electives can be chosen from any discipline except Business. Of the 51 credit hours required in elective courses from academic terms 1 through 7, 24-39 credit hours must be Business electives and 12-27 credit hours must be non-Business electives.

  • A student will require special permission to register for courses during work terms or academic terms if the courses are in addition to the prescribed program. Any course with the prefix BUSI, that is not a required core course, is a Business Elective.

  • Exceptions to this prescribed program, including specified course load, must have the approval of the Committee on Undergraduate Studies of the Faculty. A student must earn a minimum grade of 65% on courses taken out of sequence.

  • A student is advised to consult with an academic advisor in the Academic Programs Office to discuss course selection throughout the program by email to busihelp@mun.ca.
